An 18-year-old teen was in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $500,000 secured bond after a Davidson County Sheriff's Office detective alleges he committed more than a dozen criminal offenses with a 13-year-old female.

William Robert Tune of 511 Cedar Drive was served with the additional charges of one count of felony statutory rape, two counts of felony statutory sex acts, nine counts of felony third-degree sexual exploit minor and one count of felony soliciting a child by a computer for the purpose of committing a sex act. He was charged this past month by sheriff's deputies with felony statutory rape/sex offense.

Det. C.R. Mann said Wednesday that the DCSO received a report from the teen's parent June 20 in regard to a sexual assault of a juvenile by an adult male. The detective alleges Tune committed numerous offenses against the juvenile between June 8 and 20.

"At this point, I think there is just one victim," Capt. Mitch Kepley of the DCSO said. Kepley declined to comment how the 13-year-old girl met Tune.

Deputies responded to a house just south of the Lexington city limits June 20 after receiving a call concerning a suspicious naked person, according to a press release. Deputies said Tune told them he had gone to the property to meet a 13-year-old female. They allege he had sex with her. Deputies stated in a press release issued Wednesday that Tune was already incarcerated under a $250,000 secured bond due to sex offenses with the same juvenile female.

Tune was served with the charges Tuesday and given an additional $250,000 secured bond. He is scheduled to appear in Lexington District Court on Aug. 6.
